Slip through the veil of Adelaide Botanic Garden to enter a mesmerising portal to parallel worlds.
In the heart of the city where reality flickers, a new frontier unfolds — a place where dimensions bend beyond its gates to create a world of alternate possibilities.
The all-new after dark experience exclusively conceived by Illuminate Adelaide, step outside the boundary of what you know as Night Visions transforms the secrets of Adelaide Botanic Garden into a gateway to the unknown. Fuelled by cutting-edge light, lasers, projections and sound, journey along an extraordinary path where the latest in immersive technology reimagines the beauty of nature into sensory realms of colour and sound.
Featuring the work of local and international artists in one collective vision, venture beyond the familiar and discover what parallel worlds await on the other side.
